Soil Amendment Using Marble Waste for Road Construction

Bulk utilization of marble dust needs to be done to enhance the sustainable construction activities and to embrace safe environment. In the present study, the geotechnical properties of untreated and treated black cotton soil with marble dust are studied in detail to check its potential to improve the properties of soil. The experimental works include particle size analysis, free swell index, specific gravity, compaction characteristics, California bearing ratio (CBR), and pH. The results show that the physical properties of black cotton soil are improved significantly by addition of marble dust. An addition of marble dust leads to an increase in the pH and reduction in the swell index of soil. Further, the CBR values of mixes compacted at their respective optimum water content and maximum dry density increases with addition of marble dust up to 25%. The improvement in the gradation of soil and the formation of cementitious compounds are the key factors to improve the properties of soil with addition of marble dust.
